Answer: “The Gospels are clear. Mt. 26:26-27 ‘This is My Body . . This is My Blood. Take and eat’. In Mark 14:18, Jesus says, ‘I tell you solemnly, one of you eating with Me is about to betray Me’. Luke 22:21 affirms that. ‘And yet, here with Me on the table is the hand of the man who betrays Me.’ John 13:22 tells us that after the washing of the feet and Communion, Jesus ‘declared, I tell you most solemnly, one of you will betray Me.’

Question 7: “Didn’t Satan actually ‘enter Judas’ in Luke 22: 3-5, when he plotted with ‘the chief priests and scribes’?
Answer: “Satan entered Judas before that! He was among the Disciples mentioned in Mt. 26:8 and Mk 14:25. They were ‘indignant’ because of the expensive oil poured on Jesus’ feet. In John 12:5, the ‘wasted money’ was given a ‘cash value’ of 300 denarii, Each was denarius was .124 of an ounce of silver. Today, silver is worth about $25.00 an ounce. Each denarii was worth about $2.50.

Question 8: “Did the cash value of the bribe to Judas reflect those same 300 silver pieces?”
Answer: “The ‘perfume’ had a cash value of about $750.00. The ‘potters’ field’ was ’30 pieces of silver’. They may have had the same value, the ‘price of a slave’.
It is amazing that the first Profiteer of Protestantism would sell his soul for so little!”
